The pension holiday ended on September 30, 2022. In this regard, the Cayman Islands Government has decided that there will not be an extension to this timeframe. Employees and companies should plan for the resumption of these payments starting with October earnings.
Additionally, the year’s maximum pensionable earnings for the remaining three months of the year (October to December) have also been addressed by the release of the NATIONAL PENSIONS (MAXIMUM PENSIONABLE EARNINGS) ORDER, 2022. The annual contribution cap for 2022 has been prorated to KYD 21,750.
